The Value of Goal setting with respect to Relaxation

Enter your search terms Submit search form

I have always felt that having a goal or goals is like a roadmap in life- generally giving us a direction to head in.

From my personal experience, when I am centered, or on the road in the direction I would like to take, I am more able to relax, as I feel I have control of my circumstances. This is partly because of goal setting.

Please note at this point, that I am aware events can occur beyond our control, but for the purpose of this information, I am referring to that which we can control.

And when we’re in a situation where things have occurred beyond our control, we should then, based on the situation, reset, or tweak our goals to move forward.

In other words, do we still follow our original goal, or do we at least need to adjust our goal, as the result of the deviation?

When we are able to follow a plan, through goal setting, we are better able to then at least relax from the point of view that we know where we are going.

This is the reason I have chosen to include this topic as part of this website, as I feel it has great merit in the grand picture of relaxation.

Naturally, your plans, or goals will be made up of a combination of

• Short term goals

• Medium term goals and

• Long term goals.

Goal setting is something that in my view is adjusted on a regular basis, with the resetting of goal timings, if events occur that were unplanned, or better still, there have been areas of progress in a shorter time than expected! This can, and does happen.

Take the time today to sit down, and really list the things you would like to achieve.

This is something that I like to do with a cup of coffee, in a quiet space, where I will have at least an hour, if possible, to spare.

This is one of those things that can start off small, and then, literally snow ball, as your ideas begin to flow.

I have found that if I am on public transport, I have time to think, and ideas like this are regularly coming to me! Write them down, consider them, and act!

I will be dealing with procrastination a little later on in the site, as this is an important part of relaxation, and the ability to be at ease with ourselves.

Really get into your goal setting, as this will help to motivate you to do the many little steps to get the bigger goals completed, as well as your daily and mid time goals.

Everything, in a grand picture, can then be aimed at your greater goal completion.

This way, when you may be having a ‘bad’ day, or as I prefer to refer to it, a challenging day, you will be able to focus on the grand picture of your goals.

I will expand on this a little later.

However, I hope I have managed to get your creative ideas running, as setting goals will help you to step closer to where you wish to be.

Please, also remember that life is not only about the goal, but also about the journey.

This may seem an obvious statement, but I am wanting to reinforce that even though we need goals to get where we wish to be, we also need to enjoy the journey.

I hope this has been an insightful resource page for you.

Remember, when you know where you are going, it is significantly easier to relax, as you are able to focus.

Be the difference you can be!

Goal setting is one of those things that can literally change your life for good.

It has been found that the majority of millionaires have laid out their goals in Writing (This is an important part too).

Writing your goals makes all the difference, and commits you, and brings your thought patterns to motivate you to perform substantially better then if you do not write your goals.

A True Story About Goal Setting

After much discussion, he convinced me to think about it, and the best I could do at the time was write a note to myself in my diary, at some future date.

I did not fully beleive this at the time.

However, after 6 months, events had changed, and I ended up on the east coast of Australia.

Three days after arriving, I came across an entry in my diary, where I had written,

"Prepare to consider moving to Sydney"

I was not ven fully commited at the time, and only wrote the word consider.

Yet, it was in my diary, three days after I had moved to Sydney, as I had a new position to go to.

My point here is that writing things down, makes a massive difference.

It is like alligning the universe to work towards your goals.

I guarantee that trying this will make a positive difference in your life.
